Researchers seek public’s help in locating barn owl nesting locations

Researchers are seeking the public's help in finding more nesting sites of Kentucky's remaining barn owls, according to a news release.

Barn owls, with their distinctive heart-shaped faces and dark eyes, were plentiful across Kentucky as late as the 1960s. Currently, however, there are only about 25 documented nesting locations statewide.

Wildlife biologists with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources need to locate as many barn owl nesting sites as possible to gain a deeper understanding of why this species has declined in the state.

You raise your barrel, swing and fire, not puffing a single feather on the dove that quickly swerves away, out of danger.
